Finally The Pathless is released on Arcade. I've played a couple hours so far with a DS4 controller on my iPad Pro, and love it. I was hoping to play on my Apple TV HD, but so far it's only compatible with the 4K.

I played it a bit on my iPad. It’s a bit difficult to control without a game controller, or maybe I’m just bad at video games. I got the free 3 months of Apple Arcade with my iPhone, so I am trying to find some good games. I played Beyond a Steel Sky which I liked, having been a fan of the old Beneath a Steel Sky.

I haven't tried The Pathless with touch controls. I can understand actions like running, shooting and flying might be trickier without a controller. I'll say with a controller, it's so much fun. The scenery is gorgeous and the puzzles are pretty tricky. I've probably played about 25 hours so far, and it took a while to understand the different domains--but then I ran by the map in the first area, and refound it, and now things make a bit more sense.

And the music by Austin Wintory (Journey, Banner Saga) is gorgeous!

The map?
As far as I know the game does not have any maps? ?

There is indeed a map, but I won't spoil it.

Please PM me where it is

Please PM me where it is

I don't do PMs here, but a hint is to go back to the Landing and explore everywhere.
